They’re not BAD. They’re just not really a cohesive story. There’s a narrative, but it’s so surreal and ‘psychedelic’ (even if it’s mostly written in understandable English, the things and events it describes are driven by forces literally beyond human comprehension) that after you finish it, you can spend an endless…

While it can be tempting to enter into a political or ideological debate with people who will never be swayed by appeals to reason, history, or statistics / facts, it’s a better idea not to.

Sessions is an evil serpent.

I have arms like that, only they’re love handles, not arms.

You’re deliberately misinterpreting what I’m saying in order to press forward with your own preferred narrative. That’s fine. Hopefully your moral outrage benefits someone, somewhere.

Solidarity would be demanding higher minimum wages, better healthcare, a shorter work week, paid parental leave, more union membership / protecting workers’ right to unionize, and imposing penalty wage rates on companies that make their employees work late, or over weekends / holidays... not simply crying about how…

The fuck I’m talking about is - you don’t just randomly bring textbooks to work and then fall asleep in the back room, as a freak accident.

Studying at work, and then falling asleep on the job and getting caught, is not a simple ‘mistake’. It’s indicative of repeat behavior, most likely an increasingly brazen disregard for job responsibilities. It is both unethical and negligent.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a minimum wage worker (Waffle House) or a highly paid professional (heart surgeon). Don’t nap on the clock. There’s really nothing controversial about this.

Is that your response whenever you get busted sleeping on the job?

Should the U.S. have better minimum wages? Yes. Should we feel sorry for employees who lose their jobs as a result of sleeping on the job? No. In a scenario in which The Takeout is robbed as a result of a sleeping overnight security guard, I’d like to see whether or not they defend the sleeping guard because “working…

Make sure to warn people with cayenne allergies, and also people with nut allergies. Then check your smoke detectors to ensure they’re still operable. Safety first! Also don’t plug your slow cooker in unless it’s UL-certified. Finally wash your hands for AT LEAST 20-30 seconds after handling your nuts, to prevent the…

International millionaire celebrity Oscar winner who dates famous models and actresses “never really had a prime”.

There has never been a time when we didn’t have a recession/near-depression every ten years — in fact, we have them more frequently than that, and have since, well, the beginning of our nation’s economy.

It’s real. Equally real is the person who spent $5000 on BTC yesterday after being convinced it can only keep rising in value, and then saw the value of their investment drop by nearly 20% in less than a day.

I can vouch for these things. They capture an incredible number of wasps / yellow jackets. My parents have some around their place in Appalachia.

Organic milk absolutely tastes better. I first had it about 10 years ago and it opened my mind to the possibility that there might occasionally be something to this whole ‘organic’ thing.

The argument isn’t that BTC is currently worth nothing.

Its value would be denominated in USD (or the home currency of the person you gave the BTC to). A ‘smart’ person (to follow the terminology of the article) would sell the BTC, take profits in USD, and invest those USD elsewhere.A ‘dumb’ person would hold the BTC indefinitely, hoping for an infinite theoretical gain…

There are people who made millions of dollars from running pyramid schemes. What about that is not real?
